Q. It takes me forever to move my cursor around a
Word document. I know Ctrl + Home takes me to the beginning of a
document and Ctrl + End takes me to the end. But I suspect there are
other shortcuts for moving around a document.

Ctrl + left arrow jumps you a whole word to the left.

Ctrl + right arrow jumps you a whole word to the right.

Ctrl + up arrow takes you to the start of the paragraph you’re
in.

Ctrl + down arrow takes you to the start of the next
paragraph.
